A preliminary version of Intel's 2010 Proxy Statement was filed with the SEC and is available on the SEC Website today. Following SEC review Intel plans to publish and distribute the definitive version of the Proxy Statement along with the 2009 Annual Report to Stockholders. (Note: The preliminary document is not intended as a solicitation of proxy voting authority; that will come with the definitive document.) Separately, Intel noted in SEC filings that John Thornton, a director since 2003, has decided not stand for re-election to the Intel Board of Directors at the upcoming Annual Stockholders' Meeting. The Intel Board currently has 11 members, and with Mr. Thornton's retirement the Board will be composed of 10 members following the Annual Meeting.
